Step 1 | Initial Consultation
Your first visit begins with taking the time to truly understand what is going on. We look at how your body moves, where it feels restricted, how it has been compensating, and what your training or daily demands look like. I assess posture, joint mechanics, muscle tension, and the specific area of concern using focused orthopedic testing. This helps us uncover what is
actually driving the pain so we can treat the source, not just the symptoms.
Step 2 | The Treatment
Treatment is tailored to what your body needs that day. After your evaluation, we focus directly on the tissues and patterns contributing to your pain or restriction. This may include orthopedic-style acupuncture, motor point work, trigger point release, and supportive techniques to calm irritation, improve circulation, and restore mobility. Each session is focused and intentional, adjusting as your body changes and responds over time. ll
Step 3 | Your Personalized Plan
After your initial evaluation and treatment, we create a plan that reflects the nature of your condition, your training demands, and your goals. For acute issues, care may be more frequent at first to calm inflammation and restore function quickly. For chronic or long-standing patterns, we take a more progressive approach, building stability and resilience over time. You leave each visit with clarity on next steps and a plan that supports steady, lasting improvement.
Our Approach
-
Pain is often the result of restricted circulation, muscular tension, or nerve irritation within the body. From both a Traditional Chinese Medicine and orthopedic perspective, treatment focuses on improving circulation to the affected area, releasing tight muscles and fascia, and reducing inflammation. Techniques such as acupuncture, cupping, and soft tissue therapies help restore healthy movement and support the body’s natural healing response.
-
Sports injuries commonly develop from overuse, compensation patterns, or restricted mobility within muscles and connective tissue. Orthopedic acupuncture focuses on identifying the structures involved and restoring proper movement and circulation to the injured area. By reducing inflammation, improving tissue recovery, and addressing underlying imbalances in the body, treatment supports a safe return to training and helps prevent future injury.
FAQs:
How many sessions before I feel relief?
Many patients notice a difference within the first few visits; chronic pain and injury recovery typically benefit from a consistent short series.
Can acupuncture help me return to training faster?
By supporting circulation and tissue recovery, many athletes find it shortens the time to a safe return.
Is acupuncture a substitute for pain medication?
It's a complementary approach many patients use to reduce reliance on medication over time.
